18. “ 0 km computers” and the “Ways for Success” When I started PPF, it was surprising! When I entered the IT lab and viewed the structure, I was thrilled, as all the machines were “0 km” , not mentioning they were first quality. When I started the program, I already new some basic IT as a user. I thought my knowledge was sufficient to compete with other people in the field, but I found myself wrong when I saw the program curriculum. I saw I had a lot to learn. Besides Software and Hardware, I also had subjects to work the humanity side: Criativity, Gender, Portuguese, maths, which provided the general improvement for a complete professional . ... Another great experience was e-Mentoring that helped us to direct our careers, by exchanging experiences with an experienced professional that helped us “sculpe the way for our success”.
